Larkfleet Homes And Keystone Developments Celebrate Opening Of Exclusive Retirement Community

Oct. 28, 2011 - PRLog -- Two leading local firms, Larkfleet Homes (www.larkfleethomes.co.uk) and Keystone Developments (www.keystonedevelopments.co.uk), held an official opening ceremony for The Croft, a new exclusive community development for those aged 55 and over in Bourne, Lincolnshire.

At the opening ceremony were senior members of staff from Keystone Developments and Larkfleet Homes as well as the Mayor of Bourne, Mrs Brenda Johnson, who officially opened the development.

Guests listened to addresses from the Mayor of Bourne; Karl Hick, managing director of Larkfleet Homes; and Bob Walder, CEO of Longhurst Group, before enjoying a buffet lunch and refreshments.

The Croft consists of 68 one and two-bedroom bungalows and three-bedroom houses, arranged around attractively landscaped courtyards in the grounds of The Croft – a former ‘manor house’. With the two-bedroom Hereward property type used as a showhome, the development has already received interest from potential homebuyers with ten properties reserved ‘off-plan’.

The Croft is being marketed as not only a place to live but as a community of like-minded people who enjoy a lifestyle full of possibilities. Homeowners at The Croft will be able to live the life they want to lead, in a secure and caring environment.

As part of The Croft development, the existing manor house will be restored and act as the ‘hub’ of this new community to provide residents of the 68 retirement properties with access to a variety of services and facilities. The Victorian cast iron lamp standards along the main drive to the house will also be retained as part of the new development.



As The Croft is right in the centre of Bourne, many local amenities including a local supermarket, a doctor’s surgery and a bus stop are only a short walk away, as are many shops and restaurants.

With so many excellent facilities in the area, such as a nearby leisure centre, residents can easily pursue activities such as golf, gardening, craft groups and health and well being classes.

Jason Colmer, sales director at Larkfleet, said: “This opening ceremony marks the culmination of months of hard work by Keystone Developments and Larkfleet Homes. We believe that The Croft is the perfect place to live for people who prefer enjoying life rather than managing a home. Residents really can make their life their own at The Croft and enjoy the freedom to live.

“We offer homebuyers a range of buying incentives and schemes to make moving to The Croft easy and trouble-free. That ‘personal touch’ can also be added to each home with a choice of design and finish options available.”
